While the most recent profiled player, slumping Tommy Layne, (three runs in his last three innings) is now back in Pawtucket after yesterday’s demotion, hopefully the recent run of success will continue for today’s subject, Robbie Ross, Jr . Let’s take a look at his professional career.
Ross was drafted in the second round of the 2008 draft by the Texas Rangers straight out of high school in his hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. A 2.34 over 161.1 innings in 2011 in the minor leagues led to his promotion in 2012 to the major league team.
